According to reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Celtic have opened talks with Hart.
He said on Twitter: “Celtic have opened talks with Tottenham to sign Joe Hart as new goalkeeper.
“Negotiations ongoing between the two clubs.”
A move to Celtic would bring an end to Hart’s short stay at Tottenham.
The 34-year-old joined back in the summer of 2020, signing a two-year deal.
He played just ten times as cover to Hugo Lloris, keeping five clean sheets in the process.

There is, however, one potential stumbling block. The player’s wages.
According to Spotrac, Hart is believed to be picking up around £52,000-a-week.
And although Celtic could most likely pick Hart up for free, the wages could get in the way of any potential deal.
